AbstractA direct synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of highly probable routes to reach their application to field emission displays. Several stringent requirements are prerequisite for this purpose, including low temperature growth below 600°C to engage glass substrates and large area deposition for practical use. This study carried out synthesis of CNTs by thermal CVD on glass substrates at temperatures as low as 500~550°C. CNTs were grown by thermal decomposition of CO and H2 gases at an atmospheric pressure for different thickness of Invar (an Fe-Ni-Co alloy ) catalytic layers. The growth of CNTs was strongly correlated with preparation of catalytic layers. The diameters and heights of as-grown CNTs increased as the catalytic layers became thicker from 2nm to 30nm. Measurements of the field emission properties of CNTs showed that the threshold electric fields were lowered with increasing thickness of catalytic layers. A uniform electron emission was observed over a large area of 150 × 150mm2, with high emission currents and high brightness.

AbstractThe role of imperfections on the initiation and propagation of interface delaminations in compressed thin films has been analyzed using experiments with diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited onto glass substrates. The surface topologies and interface separations have been characterized by using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) imaging system. The lengths and amplitudes of numerous imperfections have been measured by AFM and the interface separations characterized on cross sections made with the FIB. Chemical analysis of several sites, performed using Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), has revealed the origin of the imperfections. The incidence of buckles has been correlated with the imperfection length.

AbstractAn ultra high vacuum ion beam system, consisting of a 20 cm diameter Rf excilted (13.56 MHz) ion gun and a four-axis substrate scanner, has been used to modify large surfaces (up to 1000 cm2) of various materials, including; infrared windows, silicon nitride, polycrystalline diamond, 304 and 316 stainless steels, 440C and M50 steels, aluminum alloys, and polycarbonates; by depositing different chemical compositions of diamond-like carbon films. The influences of ion energy, Rf power, gas composition (H2/CH4 , Ar/CH4 and O2/CH4/H2), on the diamond-like carbon characteristics has been studied. Particular attention was focused on adhesion, environmental effects, IR(3–12 μm) transmission, coefficient of friction, and wear factors under spacelike environments of diamond-like carbon films on various substrates. A quadrupole mass spectrometer was utilized to monitor the ion beam composition for quality control and process optimization.

The possibility of generating ternary compounds through annealing thin film stacks of binary composition has been demonstrated before. In this work we report a method to produce large area coating of ternary compounds through a reaction in solid state between thin films of Sb2S3 and CuS. Thin films of Sb2S3 -CuS were deposited on glass substrates in the sequence of Sb2S3 followed by CuS (on Sb2S3 ) using chemical bath deposition method. The multilayer stack, thus produced, of approximately 0.5 μm in thickness, where annealed under nitrogen and argon atmospheres at different temperatures to produce films of ternary composition, CuxSbySz . An optical band gap of ~1.5 eV was observed in these films, suggesting that the thin films of ternary composition formed in this way are suitable for use as absorber materials in photovoltaic devices. The results on the analyses of structural, electrical and optical properties of films formed with different combinations of thickness in the multilayers will be discussed in the paper.

ABSTRACTThin film deposition process and integrated scribing technologies are key to forming large area Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) modules. In this paper, baseline Cd1-xZnxS/CdTe solar cells were deposited by atmospheric-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD) onto commercially available ITO coated boro-aluminosilicate glass substrates. Thermally evaporated gold contacts were compared with a screen printed stack of carbon/silver back contacts in order to move towards large area modules. P2 laser scribing parameters have been reported along with a comparison of mechanical and laser scribing process for the scribe lines, using a UV Nd:YAG laser at 355 nm and 532 nm fiber laser.
